Information could be the name of an artist or music title, DJ’s name, contact details for the radio station etc. If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting Using your DAB Micro System with Bluetooth

Using your DAB Micro System with Bluetooth Let’s get started • Program Type (PTY) Such as ‘Rock’, ‘Pop‘, Talk’ or ‘News’ • Multiplex Name Displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency e.g.: BBC National DAB, Digital 1 Network.

• Channel and Frequency e.g.: 12B 225.648 MHz • Signal Strength A row of solid rectangles will be displayed to indicate the actual signal strength that you are receiving. Two black lines within the row of solid rectangles will indicate the minimum signal strength for acceptable listening.
